Solve the line equation for "y", to get it in slope-intercept form. You can immediately read the slope from this equation.Divide -1 by (slope of this first line) to get the slope of the second line - the one perpendicular to the given line. Write an equation for any line with this slope.

It is a horizontal line that intersects the y axis at negative 1
The slope is zero.
Any graph with the slope of -1/2
It looks like a straight line, that crosses the y-axis at y=1, and slopes up from left to right with a slope of 1/2 .
The slope of the graph of [ y = x + any number ] is 1 .
The equation has no slope. The graph of the equation is a straight line with a slope of -1 .

It is 6 and the y intercept is -1
If you had a problem like this... y=3x-1 you would go down 1 point on the graph and point it then go up three and over one as the slope.
The slope of the graph of that equation is -1.
1) You write the equation in slope-intercept form, if it isn't in that form already. 2) An easy way to graph it is to start with the y-intercept. For example, if the intercept is +5, you graph the point (0, 5). Then you add an additional point, according to the slope. For example, if the slope is 1/2, you go 2 units to the right, and one up, and graph a point there.
